So, me, an East coast military brat gets his first job land surveying in Iowa (due to new wifey's residency @ U of Iowa) we are at a farm, way West of Dubuque, and over the walkie-talkie:<br />Me: "Uh, Terry, there's a bull in this pasture..."<br />T: "Get out of there now."<br />Me: "Okay, I'll be... F**K, here he comes!" (Thundering Hooves)<br />I dropped the $6,000 worth of survey equipment in my hands, ran 40 yards in 3 seconds, and dove over the 5 foot, electrified fence in a single leap.
